Cellosaurus C8-B/Ras (CVCL_B6F5)

[Text version]
Cell line name C8-B/Ras
Accession CVCL_B6F5
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: C8-B/Ras (RRID:CVCL_B6F5)
Comments Characteristics: Tumorigenic.
Characteristics: Because it has been transduced by a construct containing LoxP sites, transfection with the Cre recombinase eliminates the SV40 T gene thus reverting the cells to a non-immortal phenotype.
Characteristics: Transduced with the retroviral vector SSR#69 (MoMLV/LTR-LoxP-HygroR-HSV/TK-IRES-SV40T-LoxP-Neo-MoMLV/LTR) expressing HygroR, HSV-1 TK and SV40 T-antigen flanked by two loxP sites.
Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=HGNC; HGNC:5173; HRAS (Note=With p.Gly12Val).
Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=UniProtKB; P00557; Escherichia coli hygromycin-B 4-O-kinase (hph) (HygR).
Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=UniProtKB; Q9QNF7; Human herpesvirus 1 TK.
Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=UniProtKB; P00552; Transposon Tn5 neo.
Transformant: NCBI_TaxID; 1891767; Simian virus 40 (SV40).
Derived from site: In situ; Liver; UBERON=UBERON_0002107.
Cell type: Hepatocyte; CL=CL_0000182.
Species of origin Rattus norvegicus (Rat) (NCBI Taxonomy: 10116)
Breed/subspecies: Lewis; RS=RS_0000121.
